Good afternoon Demon fans!

Well, after almost seven months of off field goings on and a month of pre season matches, drama and tragedy, it's on in earnest today.

First game of the season is always a big day and it's even bigger today with a new coach, new players and a blank sheet.

As usual, I just want the four points.

 

I want a10 goal plus win .

I want all of the above, as well as for Mitch Clark not to kill any of our players. I worry that he'll do a little of that this year.
 

I also wish that this wedding was somehow cancelled so I could go to the game .

Who gets married on a Saturday at 4pm on round 1?

Disgraceful?


Can't make the game but I just loaded up the Telstra AFL app and subscribed so I can watch the game live on my phone!

This means I can now watch it while I'm out!

Bring it on today Dees!

Bate the Sub. Thoughts? I'm not to sure about it.

Traditionally he's a player who takes a long time to get into the game, but that was when he was not playing in the midfield. I don't think it suits Bate to be a sub.

Biffen - you have it lucky - I have to CONDUCT a wedding at 4:30pm, for my neice who is a Dees supporter! I cannot believe she chose the opening round of the season for the big day and I almost said no. Almost.

Clearly marriage is an affront to God, since it interferes with the Football Holy Communion.

Good call I reckon. Can play mid, can kick goals, not the quickest player so will come into the game when everyone else is slowing down.

Packed train on the way in, full of fans in a sea of red and blue, blood pumping, Carn Melbourne!

A man can have two faiths - Jesus Christ and the MFC. No tension at all here for me.

Good point can plug a few holes if we get an injury. And he was playing midfield we have many similar types. Most likely Tynan or Blease to be subbed out.

Apparently Garry's gone to give the boys a rev up before the game, always a good sign

He presented jumpers to the new players

Knowing Garry, I think he would have had a few words to the boys too

He did indeed... and they looked very focussed.

How good did the guernsey's look with the camera panning down the line!

Go demons!

The round of applause for Jimmy was a really nice touch... you could feel it gathering momentum so the players shuld take some energy from that... so much better than a minutes silence!


Very very soft free to give Magner his second goal... terrible umpiring! (but I'll take the goal)

 

Huge leaps because all we do is get it and bomb it high and long into the flank or pocket

Thats ok with Howe, Clark and Martin there. We just need Green and Davey to do something at ground level!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
